The Morning Line: Our First Caption Contest

We knew this fateful day could come. We've been biding our time -- waiting, waiting patiently for that just-right cartoon for Comic Riffs's first o-ffic-ial Caption Contest. And this, o fellow fans, is it:

Today's "Rhymes With Orange."

Time for you to get as witty, wry or warped as you wanna be. Whether you were weaned on cartoon-caption contests decades ago, or perhaps only know them from The New Yorker's more recently revised back-page, you know how the game is played:

You supply substitute dialogue -- in this case, for what the cartoonist has already provided. We'll read all your submissions and highlight some of our faves in a later post.

Oh, and why did this comic, among so many, get singled out? Our scattershot criteria:
1. An inherently amusing image.
2. A single dialogue balloon makes recaptioning a quickie exercise.
3. The potential to be even funnier is high.

So have at it -- we invite your entries. And though the Comic Riffs expense budget doesn't yet allow for giveaway T-shirts, you can enter for the glory of seeing your name in boldfaced print -- and the greater good of cracking the rest of us up.
